THE PALMER RUSTLER , Thursday, August 10, 1967 :
DISGUSTED . . .. “I’d have more privacy in the El Paso
railroad station,” says Robert Mitchum to John Wayne and
Charlene Holt in this scene from Howard Hawks’ “El Dorado,”
a lusty Western for Paramount Pictures opening Wednesday
at the Plaza Theatre. “El Dorado” is set in Texas in the
perfect era for tumultuous western adventure, the period
following the Civil War when the cattle market was begin-
ning to emerge. Story of a gunfighter and a sheriff in a range
.war, the Technicolor film also features James Caan and
Michele Carey, and Arthur Hunnicutt.
New Troubles Have Arisen Now to
Plague Appollo Moonship of U-S
CAPE KENNEDY—New trou- hicle off the moon to re-join a
CAPE KENNEDY—New trou-
bles are plaguing the Appollo
Moonship.
And it comes at a time when
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration is making
significant progress in the re-
design and re-building of the
main cabin. That’s the moonship
section in which three astro-
nauts died in a launch-pad fire
last January.
The new trouble concerns the
spacecraft’s lunar module sec-
tion in which two astronauts—
from orbit around the moon—
will descend to the moon’s sur-
face. As a safeguard, NASA is
having a second industrial sour-
ce build engine fuel injectors,
at an added cost of more than
five million dollars.
The first lunar module arriv-
ed at Cape Kennedy in June—
more than one month after the
vehicle was to have been launch-
ed on its initial un-manned flight.
Part of the delay was attribut-
ed to change made as a result
of the Apolla One fire, primari-
ly to reduce the fire hazard. But
technical gremlins also develop-
ed. And other problems that
cropped up at Cape Kennedy set
back a planned September laun-
ch date nearly two months.
Most of the difficulty centers
in the lunar module’s two en-
gines. One is the descent en-
gine whose job it will be to slow
the craft so it can land on the
Lunar surface with its two-man
crew. The other is the ascent
engine which is to lift the ve-

the circling main cabin section.
Valve trouble was encounter-
contracted last week for the de-
sign, development and qualifica-
tion of a backup fuel injector
for the Bell Aerospace Corpora-
tion-produced ascent engine.
The contract calls for delivery
of four production injectors two
for use in ground tests, and two
to be held in a reserve for pos-
sible use in flight engines. This
work is being done by the Rock-
etdyne Division of North Ameri-
can Avtion.
NASA reports the Bell in-
jector — which feeds both fuel
and oxidizer into the engine
combustion chamber—was caus-
ing un-stable combustion and ex-
cessive corrosion of the thrust
chamber.
The federal agency says it is
hoped design modifications by
Bell will correct the deficiencies.
But NASA explains it was de-
cided also to have developed an
injector of different design, in
the event the problem could not
be corrected by Bell.
There have been problems al-
so involving electrical and elec-
tronic components and a com-
puter. But officials say most
have been corrected.
Two un-manned lunar module
flights are planned before three

Possible Move
To Seattle Is
Studied by A's
SEATTLE—Kansas City Ath-
letics’ Owner Charles Finley has
met with officials in the State of
Washington to discuss the pos-
sibility of moving the A’s to
Seattle. Governor Dan Evans and
Seattle Mayor J. D. Braman have
urged Finley to consider the
move. The American League’s
last place team also has received
feelers from Oakland and Mil-
waukee. And the team has been
urged to remain in Kansas City
by local groups.
Meanwhile, in Kansas City,
two marketing consultants have
begun a survey of the city’s
strength compared to Seattle and
Oakland as a major League Mar-
ket. The consultants—hired by
Finley—will look into lease ar-
rangements, television rights,
concessions and parking. Similar
surveys also will be made of
Oakland and Seattle.

New Form on
Draft-Defer Now
Is Available
A new draft form on which un-
dergraduate college students can
request deferment has been fur-
nished draft boards. Colonel Mor-
ris S. Schwartz, state Selective
Service director, states.
Undergraduates must request
deferment under the new mili-
tary Selective Service Act of
1967 after the date of its enact-
ment, June 30, in order to be
deferred.
The form, titled “Request for
Undergraduate Student Defer-
ment (SSS Form 104),” repro-
duces pertinent provisions of
Section 6 of the law dealing with
student deferments.
On the form the student states
his understanding of the provi-
sions of law printed on the form,
states he is pursuing a full-time
college course, and asks for de-
ferment in Class II-S, then signs
the form. The blank forms may
be secured from local boards.
Colonel Schwartz said that re-
quests for deferment could be
made by ordinary letter, too.
“The form is for the conven-
ience of students,” he observed.
“It will help them understand
what the law provides.”
Deferment of undergraduates
in Class II-S is mandatory if they
are full time and satisfactory,
under 24 years old, and request
deferment.
To be satisfactory, a student
must make normal progress to-
ward his baccalaureate degree.
For example, in a four-year
course, he will be expected to
earn 25 per cent of his credits
in the 12 months following the
beginning of each year.
Thailanders
To Visit A&M,
Other Regions
COLLEGE STATION — Three
Thailand agricultural officials,
one of them the Minister of
Agriculture, will visit Texas
A&M University and other areas
in the state Aug. 8-10.
They are Dr. Phra Prakas, the
Minister of Agriculture; Dr. Siri-
bong Boon-Long, secretary-gen-
eral in the Ministry of Agricul-
ture, and Lt. Col. Sanguan Kam-
vongsar secretary to the minis-
ter.
Theodore E. Herrera, U. S.
Department of State escort, will
accompany the trio on an agri-
cultural tour that will take them
to the University of Kentucky,
University of Georgia, the Na-
tional Banana Association in
New Orleans, and the University
of California.
In late July, Dr. Prakas was in
Washington, D. C., to talk with
Secretary of Agriculture Orvil-
le Freeman, rney discussed ways
to increase trade between Thai-
land and the United States, and
U. S. cooperation with that na-
tion’s efforts to improve its agri-
culture.
At Texas A&M, the Thailand-
ers will confer with Dr. R. E.
Patterson, who has resigned as
dean of agriculture and director
of the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station and is considering
an assignment as chief food and
agriculture officer in Thailand.
The objective of Prakas’ visit
to Texas is to see Extension Serv-
ice methods at the county level,
rice research, beef cattle feed-
ing, and a livestock auction.
Ball Career of
Pitcher Terry
Probably Over
NEW YORK—The baseball
career of the Lanky Oklahoma
right-hander-pitcher Ralph Terry
—is over, perhaps prematurely,
at the age of 31. The 23-game
winner and World Series star
with the New York Yankees in
1962 says, however, that he un-
derstands. Terry says he really
thought he could make it with
the Mets, but when they let him
go this spring, well—in his
words—“when one door closes,
sometimes another door opens.”
The “other door” for Terry is
another sports field. He has be-
come golf pro at the New Roxi-
ticus Golf Club in Mendham,
New Jersey. Terry teaches the
game, sells its products, and—
on August. 28th—will host a
$10,000 pro-am tournament.

tial Aide Theodore Sorsensen

Whitney Home
Robbed of Gems
Valued $781,800
SARATOGA SPRINGS, New
York — Police in Saratoga
Springs, New York, report the
summer home of Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt Whitney has been
robbed of $781,800 in jewelry.
The robbery took place Wednes-
day night. Authorities say that
the loss was not reported to po-
lice immediately because of fear
that the jewelry might have been
mislaid. The FBI has joined the
investigation. ,
Police Chief Peter Pemberton
says police were sent to the
Whitney Estate yesterday. An
insurance - company representa-
tive reported the jewelry was
missing.
The police chief said there was
no physical evidence that the
home was forced open.
The Whitney estate is located
at Cady Hill near Saratoga
Springs, an upstate resort city.
Police said the Whitneys ar-
rived at Saratoga Springs in late
July for their annual summer
visit to the Track and Perform-
ing Arts Center.
Cornelius, a brother of John
Hay Whitney, a former owner of
the now-defunct herald Tribune,
is a racing enthusiast and owner
of the Whitney* Stable.
Rumor of the theft circulated
Thursday evening when the
Whitneys attended a perfor-
mance of the Philadelphia Or-/
chestra at the performing arts
center.
Pemberton said Mrs. Whitney
wore $175,000 worth of gems
that evening.
